Question

Help: translation from tagalog - English on an SMS: "aku ba pang tongd mu h payang? myta kw d mkawa kontikon?"

Answer 1

hmm not my dialic

Answer 2

That is a Tausug (Muslim dialect in Sulu) text.

Mayta kaw di makawa kontikon?

Why can't you be contacted?

Answer 3

My Cebuano is a little rusty. I can't make out the whole thing:

Aku ba pang tongod mu ha payang? Mayta (or maayo unta) ikaw di makawa kontikon?

I maybe wrong but what I understood is:

Am I the one you are referring to Payang? I hope that you won't lose "kontikon".

I have no idea what kontikon means

Answer 4

Its sounds like  one of a Muslim dialect spoken in far south region of Philippines. Not visaya, although some words are used in visayan language, a combination perhaps that  I cant even decipher.

Answer 5

Are you sure it is Tagalog?

Answer 6

That's Visayan dialect. Not everybody in the Philippines speaks it or understands it.

it also reflects the sender's grammar, which is not very good.
